Hi, Mark.  I've used the following to get a list of MySQL tables;

put revDataFromQuery(tab, return, lDB, "show databases") into tResult

and the following to list tables in a database;

put revDataFromQuery(tab, return, lDB, "show tables from mysql") into tResult ('mysql' being the database name)

Hi Chris,

Sure, I have read the documentation. Once a database has been created, I can modify it. That's not the problem. I would like to do something like this (in a button):

on mouseUp
  revExecuteSQL 1,"SHOW DATABASES;"
  put the result
end mouseUp

and would like to get a list of databases returned, but the result is empty. The used parameters for revExecuteSQL are not really logical of course, since I provide a database ID while the SQL statement is typically executed before opening a database. Any ideas?

Best,

Mark

Hi Mark,

This is probably more of a MySQL thing than a Rev thing. I would recommend reading through the MySQL documentation if you haven't already, and check out the commands for working with databases and their tables. If I'm not mistaken, you should be able to use any MySQL command by running it through the revExecuteSQL command from your Revolution code. One thing to watch would be user permissions for your MySQL server, and making sure users have the ability to create/modify database schemas.

Hopefully this will help you in the right direction. Btw, by no means do I consider myself a database guru. :-)

Chris
